We snuck into the DMV to surprise a good friend for his 40th birthday. We assumed the hotel had a complimentary breakfast - it did not. So we decided to venture out to Old Alexandria and lo and behold!: We found Grateful Kitchen!
Truly breakfast heaven.
We got the salmon breakfast sandwich and carrot juice with ginger. Man it was so good. We are definitely returning here when we come back to the DMV.
I absolutely love this place. I have been a customer since they opened and I just keep coming back. The menu is easily my most favorite menu of any healthy eating establishment I've encountered. It's always fresh and the ingredients are just in a league of their own; offering highly sought after reishi, blue green algea, and more ... even better is that these high value ingredients are offered at a perfectly reasonable price here.
Not only is the food perfect, but so is the service. Stephen always goes out of his way to make customers feel welcome and is exactly the type of person you'd want as your friendly neighborhood chef. Not to mention - the place is clean & spotless. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!
We love everything about Grateful Kitchen. The food, the values, the friendly service, the convenient location, etc! Most recently, we ordered Thanksgiving from their pre-order menu and it exceeded all expectations. We ordered the meal for 4 and it could have easily fed 8 people. Every single dish was delicious :) Thank you for consistently being awesome, Grateful Kitchen!
My only regret is not coming here sooner! Thai noodles are great (omg the mushrooms!!), as is the green smoothie. Husband is a fan of their toast and eggs. Looking forward to coming back to try more!
Stephen is an artist, bringing delicious food to the scene. The Grateful Kitchen is my go-to spot for the taste of home with classics that are nutritionally revamped for clean, satisfying eating. Would recommend the strawberry cream smoothie and any of the egg plates.
If you're looking for something truly special, treat yourself to dinner. Dinners are Michelin Star quality and are completely custom based on the season and ingredients available - you won't find anything like it in the NCR. Stephen - to you and your staff, thanks!
We have only had incredible experiences, and we frequent Grateful Kitchen often. They always have an incredible weekly curated meal selection in addition to their always delicious staples. Food, coffee, smoothies, juices, wine...it’s all been amazing in our experience. What makes this place extra special is the service. Everyone who works there is always extremely kind, and are always willing to go the extra mile to make customers feel welcome and happy with their meal. Can’t say enough great things about this lovely little corner eatery!
Bright and refreshing atmosphere! Fresh plants and greenery all around. The food and smoothies are made fresh at the counter. I love that this cafe is conveniently placed across the street from Solidcore.
